A woman in her 70s was injured by the incident and taken to Little Company of Mary Hospital and Health Care Centers in Evergreen Park in good condition, said Langford, who wasn't sure if the woman was walking or inside a car.

The tree also fell onto power lines, said Langford.

As of 11:30 a.m. firefighters had left the scene but crews from the city's Dept. of Streets and Sanitation were still trying to remove the tree from the road, according to Langford.

A judge entered a not guilty plea Tuesday for a suspended Broward Sheriff's deputy accused of shooting a man in the leg during an off-duty confrontation at the Hollywood home the victim shared with his girlfriend.
